Talk:Mykolaiv
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corrected economics, removing obsolete specializations. All those clothing, knitting and foot-wear are now made in China :((. Also deleted the following:
The city is surrounded by extremely fertile chernozem fields that facilitate good agriculture.
It definitely belongs to Mykolayivs'ka oblast', not here. Also, Novorossiya is an important concept of the Imperial Russian (and Ukrainian) history. Somebody please develop it.
Pryvit, AlexPU

[edit] City birthday
The article says that April 27, 1789 is considered the city birth day, yet the celebrations are held in September. Which date is correct? Or, is there a reason for this discrepancy?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 15:12, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- It was a mistake. Birthday of City - 21 August... --Aleksandrit 19:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Would you by any chance have a reference to that? Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- I see that you know Russian. So watch result of google --Aleksandrit 15:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I could google it up alright. What I wanted to see, however, was something that could be used as a reference to the statement that Mykolaiv's city day is August 21. You and me both know it is, but WP:V requires this fact to be verifiable (i.e., sourced). If this date is mentioned in the City Charter or some other official document, that'd make an ideal reference. Would you have anything like that? Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- I apologize to all for Russian, but it will be more comfortable me now to write on it. So… Ezhiki, нашел я неплохой источник Юрия Крючкова, это известный на местном уровне краевед. Здесь ссылка на книгу в формате rar. Так что я думаю нужно подправить статью согласно этому источнику. ~ Aleksandrit 19:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone reading this live in Mykolaiv?
I am trying to figure out some confusing information I have read in other places. According to several articles a large radar site was built about 20 km NE of Mykolaiv in the early 1970s. Does anyone reading this live in the area and can confirm or deny this? The system may have been torn down since it was constructed, but if I am reading the history correctly it likely operated into the 1980s, at a minimum.

- Give, please, links to information which you saw ~ Aleksandrit 19:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I have found a link to the coordinates outside Mykolaiv that they say is the radar site. However the Google Maps photography of this area is low quality. Can someone who lives nearby tell me if this is the right place?

- Yes, this is right place ~ Aleksandrit 19:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Translation? pronounciation?
I see that translations (the meaning of the city's name) are listed for the Russian and Ulranian names of the city. Might these by pronunciations - the way the city's names would be sound in English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badger151 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Regional Shipyards
I've been "slowly" working on expanding (and creating) articles related to shipbuilding in the area. I added links to the three major shipyards to this document. I simply put them in a see also section. I am always open to suggestions and recommendations... thanks chiefhuggybear (talk) 21:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
